London - Why not let your next adventure be a clifftop hotel. Jenny Coad goes in search of the world’s highest, literally, hotels.
HEAVENLY AMALFI
This former nunnery has been beautifully restored and is now a serene hotel with a jasmine-scented garden. From this infinity pool you can lie back and gaze on the fishing village, Conca dei Marini, far below.
Insider tip: Book a heavenly scented candle massage in the spa.
Details: Rooms at Monastero Santa Rosa cost from £311 (about R6 500) per night, monasterosantarosa.com.

CORNISH VISTAS
The Scarlet, perched on the edge of the Atlantic, specialises in peace and quiet. The hotel is adults-only, so you can take a dip in one of their cliff-edge hot-tubs or retreat to the terrace with a book, undisturbed.
Insider tip: Take Jasper, the resident whippet, for a scamper on beautiful Mawgan Porth beach.
Details: Rooms start from £210 including breakfast, scarlethotel. co.uk, 01637861800.

BREATHTAKING BALI
Not many hotels have a three-tiered pool, languidly looking down on to the sea. But Amankila is not just any hotel. Its laid-back luxury suites are tucked amid the trees.
Insider tip: Take the trek from Kastala to Tenganan (2hrs) past rice paddies and through villages.
Details: Rates for a Garden Suite at Amankila start from about £679 per night aman.com/resorts/amankila.
